S04 to face VfR Aalen in DFB-Pokal first round

It won’t be the first time that the sides have met in the cup, with the Royal Blues have already travelled to Baden-Württemberg in the first round back in 2010/11. S04 were 2-1 winners in what was the start of the club’s 2011 DFB-Pokal-winning campaign.

The first round will predominantly be played between 16th and 19th August, although there are two exceptions: As the DFL-Supercup will take place on 17th August, the cup fixtures for league and cup winners Bayer Leverkusen and Bundesliga runners-up VfB Stuttgart won’t be played until 27th and 28th August.
